Description
The Church of St Michael is a Grade II listed building constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with stone tile roofs, featuring a chancel that is set lower than the nave. The west bell turret has a pyramid base topped with a conical spire, all covered in slate shingles. The nave is adorned with paired trefoil-headed lancets on both the north and south sides, while the west end includes two plain arched lancets and a blind quatrefoil in the gable. The inset chancel has a three-lancet east window set under a round arch.
A north porch features open arcaded timberwork resting on a stone base, topped with a stone tile roof, roll-moulded bargeboards, and a finial. The north door is designed with a pointed arch.
The church is surrounded by an enclosed circular churchyard that contains several chest tombs and distinctive square box tombs with ball tops. Inside, the nave boasts an arch-braced roof, while the chancel has a trussed rafter roof. There is an ornate partially infilled truss with a battlemented tie-beam marking the division between the nave and chancel. An octagonal 13th-century font sits on a moulded base, and the east window features stained glass by O'Connor, London, from 1869. The nave also includes early black and red encaustic floor tiles that have been re-used.
